Two women were detained in Dnipropetrovsk region, who searched for young prostitutes on intimate portals and sold them into sexual slavery in Russia. The attackers had accomplices abroad, so they established regular deliveries of live goods.

Dangerous slave traders

The offenders were detained at the border with Belarus, where they tried to leave Ukraine by car and take two young girls from Odessa. Then they flew to Moscow, where places in Russian brothels were already waiting for the prostitutes. According to the victims, the criminals contacted them using dating profiles that were published on the website.

The investigation showed that the dangerous business lasted more than a year, and the victims of slave traffickers were low-income prostitutes and orphaned girls with no one to take care of them. The attackers lured the victims with promises of good jobs and big salaries abroad, and then the Russian accomplices took away their documents and forced them to work in local brothels.

At least 9 victims are known, who did not even know that they would have to sell themselves in Russia - the criminals first offered work in hotel complexes as maids, cleaners or waitresses. For each delivered girl they received rewards, and the organizer worked for a double rate, as together with prostitutes transported in the car hidden weapons and drugs. During the arrest, large caliber ammunition, explosives and smoke bombs were found in the car. The detained women each face 12 years in prison, and the found victims are being helped to return home safely.
